LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Via The Guardian House Democrats were able to garner wall-to-wall media coverage of their sit-in by broadcasting live from a congressman’s smartphone on 23 June. Yet that may not be possible in the future if a new patent recently granted to Apple is an indication of technology restrictions to come. The patent shows that Apple may allow iPhone cameras to be disabled through special infrared sensors, giving the example of a concert venue using the technology to make sure no one makes bootleg videos of a touring band. “An infrared emitter can be located in areas where picture or video capture is prohibited,” the patent reads. “An electronic device can then receive the infrared signals, decode the data and temporarily disable the device’s recording function based on the command.” The technology could also be used to beam information to a lot of people’s phones at the same time when they’re in the same location, Apple says, such as people touring the art installments in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't understand people who take videos or pictures in the concerts. I see snapchat stories from my friends, and the photo and audio quality is always ****. Their favourite singers become white blobs in the middle of a black screen I get that people want to remember the concerts later, but what is there to remind you of if you can't even see the people in your photos? I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends don't get to be in the front rows, they're always at the back. Now it makes more sense why theirs can be bad quality I fell down the stairs once as an actor.
